Seriously, ever trans timeline i see has the "after" photo looking like at least 3 years younger even if it is much later lol
I love the trope of big evil bads that are also like, ideal employers. Having this massive industrial base of loyal minions who with like, full coverage medical, checking in on the rank and file after particularly high casualty encounters with the heros, liquidating the CFO when it comes to light that he tried to replace the pension plan with a 401k.
Like with acid.
You know, good boss shit.
One thing I'll say as far as switching to Linux... It's been a while since I did a Windows setup, and man are the two utterly different worlds.
Linux: "Hey, should we do third party drivers?"
Windows: "Hey, can I use your location data? What about stuff for advertising? What about your browser history? You know this would be more useful if we had your Microsoft login. Hey can we grab your browser history from Google?"
Dude.
What a fantastic view. ๐

I've had countless conversations with sane, kind techy guys, and there's a pattern that goes like this:
Me: Here is something interesting I just learned about electronics.
Them: oh yeah! I learned that when I was (anywhere from 8-15) years old! It was so hard and I messed it up a lot! But I eventually learned it.
In. My. And. Other. Generations. White. Cis. Men. Learned. Tech. As. Children.
Other people, particularly women, did NOT.
WE ARE NOT LESS ABLE. WE WERE ROBBED OF TIME TO LEARN.
I keep trying to teach cis feminists: trans women are as close of an "A/B test" of sexism as you can get in society. We can give countless real world examples of sexism effects of THE EXACT SAME PERSON who has even more years of experience getting treated differently just because their public gender changed. You can't dismiss it as we're just "not as skilled" as our men colleagues or "not as assertive about getting raises and promotions" or any of those other excuses people will trot out.
The. Exact. Same. Person.
And so many of us see our careers stall. Our raises shrink. Getting talked over and ignored in meetings. Just because of our gender presentation.

It's very telling that the UK government refuses to acknowledge the very obvious fact that huge counter protests are what brought peace back to our streets, not a few ludicrously light sentences for fascist rioters and a very tame police response.
They really don't want you aware of your own power.

@alphasixtyfive @revk limit on what the grid will permit you to export - you have a statutory right to go up to ~3.6kW, but if your local infrastructure can handle it they'll let you go higher.
In our case, the local engineer glanced at the cable running into our local transformer and laughed, so...
(I mean strictly, it's also limited by the inverter but you normally overspec that anyway)
Used 61.4kWh so far today (Friend is visiting his car needed charging, then I put mine on charge)
Electric bill so far is at -0.50
I doubt it will be negative by end of day once we get back into peak rate electricity but yep good day to use a lot of power.
Sorting through things.
That time my dad saved a lost pilots life. Guy had no electronics bar radio. Light was rapidly fading. Dad was in the area and got the pilot to follow and led him to a safe landing.
No thoughts of "what if" or "what will the company do to me" just instant action and offer to help.
Look at all those cuties! But gah, look at those two fluffdragons, being all lovey and kissy when people are trying to take a group photo. So distractable...

#Signal was warranted again, and as always they gave the only data they could give: time of registration in Unix miliseconds, and time of last connection in Unix miliseconds.
yet another reminder that you can't give away data you don't have in the first place.

Because everything in Signal is end-to-end encrypted by default, the broad set of personal information that is typically easy to retrieve in other apps simply doesnโt exist on Signalโs servers.Signal Messenger

@Ghost The new house has very non-smart meters, presumably unchanged since the place was built in 1989. They are "digital" only in the sense that they have digits displayed on the frontโฆ
I found images of, I think, the same models of meter. If not they are *very* close.
Hmm, I think the risk from remote-off is probably negligible (unless someone was motivated enough to hack the things and turn it off maliciously, but that also seems very unlikely, unless they did so in bulk, indiscriminately). I'd guess the benefit of a slightly under-reading meter is probably offset by the benefit of being able to see your usage in real time, have time-of-day-variable tariffs, and things like that.
yeah thatโs an old school mechanical meter, and I tend to agree the risks are negligible as even malicious attacks would need to sign the command with 2 TLS certificates for the meter to acknowledge it (not that I entirely trust the opsec to keep the private keys secure).
I generally agree the advantages of a variable tariff are worth it over the under reading, but everyoneโs mileage may vary there
me too! Was just chatting about this with other folks recently and itโs impact (or lack of impact) on artistic ability. Putting my artistic/design process into words was a really interesting exercise.
In any case, RAT! squeee!

And WOW, that thing is well produced. I was expecting ... well, good, but not THIS good.
You not sure how capitalism works?
Have you noticed a bunch of "whole body deo" ads, from quite a few brands recently?
Tell me, just how often have you thought "My god, that person's [body part that isn't arm pits] stinks!"
Probably rarely. Bathing usually does the job.
Capitalism made up the problem, makes you self conscious everyone can smell your ass and cooche with ads, and was right there with a solution for you! For a fee, of course.
Anubis is texting...
Should I be worried what the god of death and judgement had to stop and text for?
Or should I be more worried about who Anubis would want to text?
Look at the sign. Is Anubis at the wrong meeting of the gods?
So many questions...
